eBay Gift Card Usage Now Limited to $1,500 per Calendar Month

eBay now limits us to using a maximum of $1,500 in eBay gift cards per calendar month and a maximum of $1,000 per day.

They have gone back and forth on these limits over the past few years. For the past year or two it’s been $2k/day and $5k/month, though unofficially they’ve been enforcing a $1k/month limit for the past few months. They finally updated the Terms to reflect a new $1,500 limit. I assume that means the unofficial $1,000 limit is no longer imposed and we’ll be able to use $1,500 per month.

These limits are applied on the eBay account, not the Paypal account, as eBay gift cards are tied to the eBay account for quite some time now.
